Eden Hazard has declared Belgium colleague Kevin De Bruyne to be the best player in the Premier League.

Speaking ahead of Belgium’s friendly at home to Mexico on Friday, Hazard was quick to concede his compatriot is currently number one in England’s top flight.

“Kevin is definitely the best player in the Premier League at the moment,” he said.

“City are the best Premier League team and Kevin is an important player in [Pep] Guardiola’s system.

“It’s easy to play with Kevin because we’re good players.”
